Feb 9: Jordan’s Sports Tips & Chat

ENGLAND’S cricketers have series victory in their sights today when they take on South Africa in the third ODI.

Trevor Bayliss’s men lead 2-0 in the five-match series and are 11-10 at Paddy Power to rack up a third straight win while the hosts are slight favourites at 10-11 (Coral).

In the NBA action Houston Rockets attempt to end Golden State Warriors’ 41-game home winning streak in the pick of the five-match card.

And at the ATP Rotterdam tennis David Goffin and Gael Monfils top the bill as they look to book a second-round spot while there’s plenty more men’s action from Memphis and ATP women’s fixtures from St Petersburg.

Jordan’s NBA tips will be posted here and let’s hear all your own sporting picks and thoughts.

You on twitter ?
Been following you for some time now,
But away with work, so due to work and the time difference struggling to get a chance to go through the forum for your picks. Twitter alerts would be perfect.

The Lakers were a standout for me and this would have been a great bet on it’s own as they only lost by 2 points, unfortunately I doubled them up with what I thought looked like a sound bet in the Raptors & Pistons to go over what looked like a low line. Initially had the Hornets to beat the Bulls! Frustrating to say the least.

Was on the double too hunter ..would have been the icing on the cake but it’s all good ..will be on your next one..u hit loads of winners yday I’m sure this didn’t effect u at all..good tipping on the Lakers..😀

Nothing left to play for here so we should see a bit of an exhibition match with at least 170pts. Yes Strasbourg will probably still be their usual oranised self but they’ll find it difficult to slow the tempo against a free-flowing offensive team like Saratov.
Strasbourg have already progressed to the next stage while Saratov is already out, so i’d expect the Russians to put on a bit of a show infront of their fans with a big offensive display. This could even go above 180 so 168 is great value.

Bit of a let down.. was not expecting Nets to pull of a win here… also the Raptors/Pistons total seemed like a sound bet.

Pelicans was clearly a good bet in its own right as they won by 14 points, and would have been great value as a single bet. Frustrating, and the main issue with these ‘alternative’ spread/total doubles…

U will get those winners tonight mate.the raptors and Pistons was pissing about lastnight should have been a winner..but the New Orleans +7 was a great choice .didnt expect them to win that big .didn’t even need the handicap In the end..wonder what the odds were for -7 New Orleans ..🤔…Bounce bk Tuesdays mate!!!😎

24.2/1 4 points staked, Close but no cigar, the 3 that won, did so easily, the grizzles could have easily have won leading by 5 with a couple of minutes to go , clippers werent at the races and the 76s some how lost, they scored 34 points in the second Q but only 39 in the whole of the second half,

All 3 teams from this group still stand a chance of qualifying and all 3 are currently 2-3 win/Loss. Milano are the only team who are safe!
Home advantage is really important in this group. Both Albas wins have been at home while neptunas have lost all away games. Having said this, Neptunas won by 8 points conceding only 65 points at home. Today both teams will be desperate for the win. Alba are in a slightly better position and just need to win whereas Neptunas need win today and hope that Milano defeat Aris.

Both teams are unpredictable this season but based on the above, I expect a close and cagey game with both teams staying close in points. This handicap looks too tempting to ignore.

Brilliant johnB, just watched it unreal end to the match, Alma looking good aswell, hit over 31.5 hard on marathon bet 1.91 just need 10 more for the 50. you think he will catch de kock and get top batsman? Thanks again on baghdatis and Alma i knew as soon as saw your post cause was on him last time with you.

De Kock is hitting well, Amla although getting the runs he isn’t in a rhythm yet
Still fancy him for top batsman
Baghdatis got there, always need a bit of luck in a tiebreak and he was 5-2 down before winning it 7-5

Decided to post this here opposed to the football thread as this just feels like home.

Debrecen play tonight in the Hungary Cup against the team top of league 3 in Hungary. The last 2 times these teams played (at the end of 2014 and start of 2015), Debrecen won 5-0 and 7-1. I’ve no idea what has happened in that time but Debrecen are 8/11 to win this one with their opponents 3/1. I like the looks of over 2.5 goals at 17/20 on Bet365 so i’ll have a cheeky point on that.

Good luck if you follow.

**WON**

Debrecen with a winner in the 93rd minute to make it 2-1 in what has to be the worst attacking performance from two football teams I have seen in a long long time!

not a lot jumping at me tonight sorry guys , ht spread 4 gsw looks ok but set at 8.5 puts me off , i think Spurs will beat Miami , think celtics will cover against the bucks , might just do a smaller than normal treble.. wouldn`t want to post something i`m not 100% sure of myself.

– Bucks +4.5 : Have to agree with Raoul here. Celtics are playing really well with 4 wins in a row but Bucks will be well rested for this game and will be at home.
– Mavericks -1.5
– Heat +13.5, Bucks +9.5 (double)

That has to be up there with one of the worst EuroCup games I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot! Both teams were abysmal….there were moments in that game where the Neptunas players looked as if they were using a rugby ball.

Limited card today and not much in the way of standouts so I’ve just put together a fourfold which should have a good chance….

Neptunas (+14.5) ***WON***

Rosa Radom (-12) ***WON***

Rapla / Jekabpils (Under 158.5) ***WON***

Pieno Zvaigzdes (-6) ***WON***

Fourfold @ 2/1 Skybet – 3pts staked. ***WON***

Good luck!

———————

Both Radom and Zvaigzdes won by about 40 points, the unders had around 20 points to spare and then we had Neptunas who scared over the line by a point. Maybe a bit of luck involved there but think I would have felt a little aggrieved had this not landed.

On a side note, I’ll be watching these Baltic playoffs with interest as they look like they could provide a nice chunk of profit!

Martin Klizan brings up the double stake NAP/NB at 11/10 that’s 2 out of 2 so far for the tennis 7/4 & 11/10

As for the footy, a first half red card ruined it with Fc United only managing 1 goal

nice one john, noticed vesnina has been cancelled, Also heads up i logged on WH they have give the stake back as a free bet on the Amla top SA batsman. Worth remembering for future must be an offer they run.
